I think most would agree that if you hit the fence between turns 1 & 2 at Flemington, the next step was up and over....  Looks like the #36 managed to keep the sunny side up and the greasy side down this time....

Comments welcome.

Good guy Walt Morrison. This is 1982, car is the last real (not sheet metal) sedan to run at Flemington. Walt passed a few years ago, still have a memorial race at Snydersville for him.

Thanks Rick - Car says "Oldie... But... Goodie" over the back window.

Do you know if the car was a new build, or had it been run with a different #/color in the past?

Randy drove one of the last coupes at Flemington same year that Walt drove the last coach. I took this picture in 2015 at Snydersville,  Walt pitted near us.

A little different for him! He's usually wearing a Flyers shirt, regardless of what season is, and despite the fact that they haven't done anything in decades.

We finished the 1983 season with a 283 after Randy blew the 311. 150,000 miles on it, had 40 pounds of oil pressure, pegged the heat gauge, used a quart of oil per heat race. Was originally in my 1968 Chevy truck.
